I bought the ceramic dish above at a reduced cost since the Fourth of July had come and gone. I went back to get a ceramic flag serving tray in the shape of the USA map.
I told a friend: “With all its faults I still think America is a great place to live.”
Sometimes it’s better to leave your home country and come here. That’s because if you stayed where you were and tried to change things nothing would get better.
You owe it to yourself to get out and come to the U.S. and get a green card.
In Central America people were called the Disappeared. One day they ‘d be taken out of their home and go missing and you wouldn’t see them again.
People are often forced to flee their home country because of a condition like that.
In America you can “speak the truth to power.” It might not be effective. You might get doxxed.
Yet we have the ability to use our voices to make a difference and challenge the status quo.
That’s on us to do even if we don’t get the outcome we want.
You have something to say? You shouldn’t be afraid to say it.
I protest in a different way by wearing message tee shirts that proclaim:
Coexist
Fight Like a Girl
Pax Sur la Terre (Peace on Earth).
Dreams, fortune cookies, quote magnets, and song titles empower me too.
I say: Let Freedom Ring.
We’re all in this country together.
The quote E pluribus unum stands for “From many one.”
Together we’re better. Always remember that. We are not each other’s enemies.
United we are stronger than the force of the haters sowing division.
We are beautiful Americans all of us.
